Ensemble Kalman filter for model updating - A special issue

摘要

The present issue of Computational Geosciences is a special issue devoted to "Ensemble Kalman filter for model updating". The idea of this issue came after "The 4th International Workshop on Ensemble Kalman Filter for Model Updating", which was held in Bergen in June 2009 (see http://qp.iris.no/enkfseminar). A sequence of international workshops have been held each spring since 2006, in or close to Bergen, Norway, usually attracting more than fifty participants. The workshops are held in an informal atmosphere, giving the participants the possibility to exchange ideas within the topic. A main objective behind the workshops has been to facilitate communication between users of ensemble Kalman filter (EnKF) in different areas - this has also been a focus of this special issue.
